say that "we are plowing new ground in that area. Redevelopment' drew some fire and the senator said that the legislature would have to do something about that. He said that he feared the redevelopment concept might skyrocket unless it is corrected and that he felt that in some instances it had been used to make one area more desirable than another right next to it. A decrease in school money received from taxes concerns him and he said that he thought possibly we would not be taking care of the overall city, county, and state, if redevelopment agencies skyrocket. Barlow also said that the current decrease in gas and oil prices could do more to discour: age drilling in Utah than an increase from 2 to 4 percent in severance taxes.

That will be the determining factor, not the severance tax, he said. If they (the fuel companies) can buy it for less than to put into the program. He accused the State House of on a controversial' bill requiring children under 5. to be in restraints while traveling in automobiles. The Senate passed a proposal which would have required the child to be in a safety restraint when in the front seat only, but the House argued that point and Barlow said that it looks like that has died.

A highly emotional bill dealing with cable television drew comment from the senator who said he felt certain that some sort of bill" would pass the legislature. Most people in my area want some sort of standard, he said. A petition with the signatures of over 10 percent of the electorate legally brought the issue to the legislature and forces them to vote on the issue. Barlow said that one bill under consideration is more constitutionally acceptable and" less flawed and "more watered down than a law passed in North Ogden and later struck down in federal courts.

Busch Gardens in Florida also has a roller coaster similar to the one at Lagoon, Van Woerden said. Colossus also ran up some colossal bills for Lagoon. It cost $100,000 to ship the coaster from Germany, where it was manufactured.

The $2.5 million price tag in-, eludes painting and putting the foundation in for, the coaster, Van Woerden said. Lagoon also had to rent a large crane for several days at a large cost to put the metal pieces of the coaster in place, Van Woerden said. Workers have been working on the ride since Feb. 28, when the metal pieces first started arriving in Lagoons parking lot. KAYSVILLE A participation agreement and preliminary site plan were recently presented to the Kaysville Redevelopment Agency by Blaine Ford.

The proposal is for a Taco Spot Restaurant to be built on a parcel of land next to Arctic Circle on Main Street. The plan has been approved by the agency.

He said that it fits in with the overall plan for the redevelopment area and that the project has its own financial backing.

That statement prefaced his brief remarks on the states retirement program and several other of what Barlow termed emotional issues before the state legislature this session. He compared the state retirement program which currently has a surplus, to the faltering Social Security program of the federal government. He said the legislature could vote to increase benefits because of the increased interest earned on surplus monies but that in two or three years we might not make as much interest and that the increased benefits would need to be cut, and we just dont see benefits cut. He indicated tlat he felt the increase could lead to a deficit in the currently healthy program.

Barlow said that he prefers a proposal that would cut the amount employees would need Drugstore Robbed by 2 With Guns ROY Twq men wearing ski masks and carrying small caliber handguns robbed the Roy Drug Center, 1975 W. 5600 at 8:53 p.m. Friday of an undetermined amount of the days receipts, according to police.

It passes under a 90-foot yellow arch, then it turns a corner before whisking passengers up a golden yellow arch, turns them upside down, and then spins the car out the other side. While passengers scream, and faces are contorted in excitement. Sound like Knotts Berry Farm? Or maybe Magic Mountain? How about Marriotts Great America? If you guessed any of the above, guess again.

The large blue and yellow metal roller coaster known as Colossus is one of Lagoon Amusement Parks new features for the coming year. This brings us in line with some of the big parks, Ron Van Woer-den, advertising manager for Lagoon, said. Indeed the roller coaster is the most expensive ride ever put in at the large park. It also brings the number of roller coasters at Lagoon to a grand total of three. That is if you include the old wooden roller coaster and the Jet Star II a metal roller coaster.

And if you want to compare price tags, the Jet Star II cost round $800,000, Van Woerden BO YOU HAVE A NEWS TIP CALLYOI1Q lidkesMe Hevnery AREA COHDESPONDENT said. The Tidal Wave a new ride installed last year also cost around $800,000. But the new coaster has a price tag of $2.5 million. How about size? Each of the two loops on the new coaster are 65 feet in diameter. They each rise 90 feet or ten stories.

The highest point on the old wooden roller coaster is 70 feet high, Van Woerden said. Three trains will run on the track on the new coaster and the ride can handle 1,600 people per hour. Each train can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour, Van Woerden said. The track is 2,850 feet long. On the old coaster there is 2,500 feet of track, Van Woerden said.

The old coaster course took about two minutes to complete. The new coaster ride'will last 1 minute and 45 seconds, Van Woerden said. The, coaster also has about 10,000 lights that will light up the ride in the evening. Perhaps the nearest roller coaster in the West that compares to it is the coaster at Knotts Berry Farm. It has several smaller loops but they go into a corkscrew configuration, Van Woerden said.

Theres a coaster at a park in Geauga Lake in Ohio that also has a double loop.
